Malabrigo | Temperance Shawl - Knitting Pattern
A beautiful canvas for colour and creativity, the Temperance Shawl is a lovely project for knitters who enjoy playing with shades and creating something truly personal. With its generous shawl shape and endless colour possibilities, you can keep the palette soft and understated or bring in a mix of brighter shades for a more expressive finish.
The pattern is designed for Malabrigo Sock, a fingering-weight superwash merino wool known for its softness, beautiful drape and rich range of colours. You can choose any combination of shades you like, making it easy to tailor the shawl to your wardrobe or experiment with colours you might not normally pair together. The Malabrigo samples showcase two different three-colour combinations: Jasmine 347, Myths 344 and Gingy 358, and Pearl 036, Fairy Tale 342 and Neverland 341.
The flexibility of the colour choices makes Temperance an especially enjoyable project for stash knitting. Try three closely related shades for a subtle, tonal effect, or choose contrasting colours for more definition between sections. However you approach the palette, the shawl offers plenty of opportunity to make a handmade piece that reflects your own style.
